Be aware that hospice care is simply to end someone's life without pain. It's giving up. My father was not even in pain but everyone had given up and I can still hear the hospice person asking " are you in pain, are you in pain" but he was never really in pain; just very weak. The hospice care he received in-house in TN was free. It didn't last long. I've nothing against people who do want to give up when the pain is too much. Just be sure you understand hospice care.
